A snippet from the Deseret News article: "...With a running start, the eager Mormon missionary and former high school football player embraced his mother with such vigor that they fell to the ground.The family laughed, the security guards looked concerned and the video of the event can be seen on YouTube.But what can't be seen is the relief of a single mother who completed five straight years of having children on Mormon missions.Susie Atwood, a mother of seven, became a widow in 2005, four years after her oldest son returned from his mission to Haiti.From 2008 to 2013, she sent one daughter and three sons on missions, three of them overlapping for 10 months..."
Okrahomer Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 No kidding...and he's not a small guy either! Knowing a bit more about the situation makes the joy almost palpable.
